Jimmy Sheirgill acknowledges that he is aware of comparisons looks wise, and reacts, "I've never
really looked at it that closely. Maybe, I'll look into it sometime."
As of now, all his time is being taken up by work โ read Karan Johar's My Name Is Khan. "I've
completed one schedule of the film and the next leg will be shot in the US," confirms the actor, adding that he had always wanted to work with Karan. "There are certain film-makers you have heard about, but never got the chance to work with. It's for the sake of this experience of being part of a Karan Johar film โ- a director who's known for his grandeur, drama and emotions onscreen," he explains.
With the film being touted as the Next Big Thing in Bollywood, buzz is that Jimmy has replaced Aamir Bashir in it. Jimmy says, "I don't know that. In fact, I've come to know about it from media reports. I was abroad and when I came back to Mumbai, Karan's production house got in touch with me." The dates were worked out, the script sent and he "just loved it".
The actor also loved getting to work with King Khan again, post-Mohabbatein. "It was long overdue... Almost a gap of 10 years," he says, while showering praises on SRK. "He is a wonderful human being and very caring too. I remember, during the shooting of Mohabbatein, he was almost like an elder brother to me," Jimmy reminisces.
